The rules of bullfighting

Starts a fight with the fact that the "president" gives the signal to release the bull in the arena. Honor to fight with the first bull always belongs to the senior matador, whose name stands first on the bill. Matador carefully studying the bull, his behavior, but to get a better look to it, send their peons to be "Correr - to run with the bull. In one hand peons cloak. Dexterous maneuvers peons ascertain especially the bull, which way he usually does attack, he sees whether equally well with both eyes. If the bull low tilts his head, touching the ground horns and boldly attacked, it is considered "toro bravo" (in a good bull). After peons conducting their first maneuvers matador (also called "Espada"). These maneuvers are called "Veronica", they are not complicated, but need a lot of experience to meet them effectively. Performing "Veronica" matador fulfills "parar", "Mandar" and "templyar. "Parar", means to control attacks by the bull, forcing him again and again to turn and go to the Mulet (red cloak). "Mandar", that is to say, "keep the bull in the hands" to the matador did not his toy. "Templyar"-the ability to perform each movement Mulet and a sword with restraint, moderation, we are here talking about subtleties available only true connoisseurs. For four or five "Veronica" followed by "Media Veronica" (poluveronika "), and then often becomes a matador to the bull back to the uninitiated that seems suicidal. But an experienced matador produced a sixth sense with which he, without looking, knows what makes a bull. Until now, the bull had not yet hit the horns of this "target", so admit Picador. The meaning of this output is that the bull must attack the horse and stumble on a spear Picador, losing power just as much as needed to exit the Mulet. Sticking only horn in a protective cover for a horse (El Peto), the bull feels his weapon. Do not be a picador, the biggest bulls in general in the end refused to attack the cape. "The correct position of the" bull before the attack on a horse - on the right. This position he is forced to take other players fight. Sometimes all the breaks because the bull is already at this stage of the battle took a fancy to her, "Keren-AAI - priglyanuvshiysya him a place in the arena, where it usually comes as and when evening comes to an end. Most often, "Kerens" appear next to the barrier, or at the entrance, or where the sand is wet and covered with blood. If the bull doggedly "zasyadet" on its "Keren-AAI, it is especially dangerous because the participants have to fight a direct attack to drive it away. Picador behavior is determined by the established rules, the violation of which is punishable by a fine. However, he agreed his actions with the wishes of the matador. After Picador again comes into play matador, he distracts the bull from a horse - is called the maneuver "el kite. After the first matadors leave the other two, competing, who outbid whom in maneuver cloak. Next comes the turn of banderilleros, which was formerly called "alegradores" - "podbodriteli. Agility and intelligence enable them to deceive the bull by bending the body (al Kebra ") or a rapid rebound (al car-theory"). Banderillas - paper wrapped wooden poles - are used not only to tease the bull, but also to protect from side attacks the animal. "Suerte de banderilla" are constructed differently, and each output has its own name. When it comes time to start "suerte de Mulet, matador, holding his hat, refers to" President "for permission to kill the bull. And the bull "dedicated" to someone in the audience (this is called "Brindis"). If the matador dedicates the bull to all viewers - means to be particularly spectacular "faena" (work Mulet). In such cases, the matador puts his hat on the ground. To tease flaccid bull, the matador is peons who, acting cloaks, display a bull on the right for him. If the bull, "Toro Bravo" matador immediately begins to fight, but if the animal deviates (rekeloso ") should be more punitive maneuvers (" de kastigo). In these maneuvers, there is no beauty, but they are necessary, and during which the matador to infuriate the bull, pricks his point of a sword hidden in Mulet. The main bout consists of classical steps, which are divided into three groups. 1. The most difficult movements performed when the matador keeps Mulet in his left hand. Matador makes a bull move so that he became accustomed to the left turns. It is very important because if a bull at a crucial moment when the matador is defenseless, make the slightest movement of the right, toward the matador, the last to be killed, at best, wounded. 2. Motion with Mulet in his right hand, which holds the sword. At this time, Mulet is expanded blade and a larger goal. 3. Mulet in his left hand, sword in his right, and fully Mulet is expanded blade. The more Mulet, the safer feels matador. Needed to accurately assess the bull lunges. Matador vstrechaya ataku, primenyaet manevry, tschatelno рассчитанные under-minded and animal temperament. If the matador skillfully leads the fight, the spectators are often asked to music, and he spoke to the sounds of paso doble. Of the maneuvers, which show how the matador the bull runs, can be called a movement when the matador puts his sword between the horns of a bull, or standing with his back to the animal, kneels. Kill a bull in different ways, often taking "a volyape": bull stood motionless, the matador comes to him, "aiming at" La Cruz "- an imaginary point of crossing the blades and spine. Mulet in the left hand is put aside, forcing the animal to do a side lunge. Rarely used "al resebir" when the matador stands still, waiting for the attack bull. If the bull is not killed by the first blow, we have to repeat the maneuver, and to reduce animal suffering, use "el deskabelo" - a special sword, which betray just behind the horns, breaking the spine. When the bull fell out el puntilero and loyalty affects the bull with a dagger in the neck.
